Description

Our organizations invite you to join us in the park and be part of the movement to #OptOutside. This idea started by the outdoor store REI in 2015 by giving their employees the day after Thanksgiving off to encourage getting outside. It has grown to be a movement to make everyone feel welcome outside. Join us for an hour with Sage Raindancer, who will guide us along the park in a forest bathing experience. Stay for another hour of connecting through various nature themed activities. All family friendly with the goal to feel welcome outside! Thank you to our Partners - Friends of Oxon Run, Raindancer Healing Arts, Capital Nature, DC's Department of Parks and Recreation, APACC, UDC Master Naturalists Where To Meet: We will be meeting by the James E .
